The proposed program is adapted from the Life of an Athlete program developed by Underwood, which has been put in place in 39 states. In a press release, the Athlete Committed Model is described as "a prevention/intervention program for student athletes, parents, and coaches that impacts social drug and alcohol use and addresses other athlete lifestyle issues.
